I called a 4 year old a "funny bunny" the other day and he said "I'm not a bunny Miss B I'm a kid!!"

I wish I could stay in the Pre-K classes at my school all day. I hate leaving them for the upper grades.

The boy in the other Pre-K class' apology to me Thursday:
"I'm sorry I punched you in the tummy. I will never ever hurt my teacher again!!"
(yes 4 year olds punch HARD!!)

My son was reading a horoscope for Cancer, which he is. One of the qualities was "likes to tell stories over and over again not really aware they have told them before". So as he is reading this outloud, he stops and says "so is Grandma a Cancer too?"

No she is not, she is likes to hear herself talk. Thank god he didn't say it to her!

When my niece was growing up, she was the queen of cute:

[In a car dealership at age six in the freaking SHOWROOM]
"Auntie Sandy! Auntie Sandy! I have to make dooooodoooooo!"

[A reason why she was sick]
"My mommy said I have a sore throat because I talk too much."

[When she doesn't get her way]
"What's a matter Auntie, you don't love me no more?"

And my favorite...
[Not too long ago, during the whole Destiny's Child hype]
"Iiiii...get to be Beyonce and you two can be the not important guys."

Another cute story about my son...He is the middle child. Two older sisters, two younger brothers...

When he was about 4 he started saying he wanted to be a girl. Over and over again, he wanted to be a girl, he didn't want to be a boy anymore. Having a couple transgendered friends, we were guarded in our reaction...what were we in for... so I asked him one day after he started in again about wanting to be a girl...

Me: You want to be a girl? Why do you want to be a girl?
(really scared about the possible answers)

Him (matter of factly): I want to be a girl because girls get to go to the mall, and they get to go to the movies and they get to buy cd's and they get to do spend the nights and they get to ride their bikes without you watching them...

Me (quite relieved): you don't want to be a girl, YOU WANT TO BE OLDER.

him: Really? Oh, OK...I want to be older.

No more I want to be a girl out of him :).

My kids absolutely kill me. One of my favorite Paige stories is from about a year ago. She wanted some chocolate milk so she went to the fridge and hauled out the gallon of milk herself. It was new and full so it was pretty heavy, and she managed to sling it up onto the counter. I said "Wow, you're pretty strong and tough aren't you?" And she looked up at me totally deadpan and said "I've been working out." She was 4.

My son (3 y.o.) picks up some rather colorful language from the adults in his life. Recently he was playing with his flash cards and he had stacked them all up neatly and was trying to put them in the box. He lost his grip and of course they went fluttering all over the floor and he just dropped his head and moaned "Jesus Christ!!!!!!" I had to admonish him but at the same time it was pretty f-in funny.

He also is very into trains. My husband has been adding to his Lionel collection and he recently bought a CSX diesel.....Coulter called it the "Sex train" instead of C S X train.

My friend Steve's little girl Emma is just turning 3. When she had just turned 2 she was playing at home and she either dropped something or broke something and she said "Dammit!!!!" Her mom jumped right on it and said "Emma, you don't say that! Nice little girls don't say dammit!" And Emma thought about it for a moment and she came back with "Well, how about shit? Do nice little girls say that?" She is something on a stick as my great-grandmother used to say.

A conversation I had with two 5 year old girls at my family picnic:

Me: L, how do you like having a little brother?

L: When he came home from the hospital, he cried all night and kept everyone awake. I can't stand him because he is so noisy.

B: Well, you are so lucky to have him because you have someone to love and take care of. I wish that I had someone to take care of.

L: Well you can take him home then! :eek:

They get along better now that he sleeps through the night.

My little cousin (4 yrs.) just stole my heart this weekend...

We were eating pizza, and he was trying to cut it, so I helped him. He looked up at me and said "hey, guess what?" "What?" I asked. He responded with "I really love you!"

Aww! How sweet is that? I, of course, told him I love him too. There is just something kinda great about a little kid saying stuff like that.

I once had a class of three year olds at a day care center where I was the teacher. One day our director was helping me serve snack to a combined class of two and three year olds. A child asked the director, "What are you doing, Miss Lilly?" The director replied, "I'm giving Miss Lisa (me) a hand." The child then said, "Miss Lisa doesn't need a hand, she already has two of them!". This child said this with such seriousness. Anyway, children take things so litterally. It was cute and funny.

at christmas i heard a really funyn story about a family friend's 3 or 4 year old daughter. Her father and soon-to-be step mother were asking her to be the flower girl in their wedding. She looked straight at them and very seriously said "I don't want to be the flower girl, I want to be the bunny rabbit."

Halloween 1985:

Nice lady to BlazerCheer: "Who are you children, darling?"

BlazerCheer: "I BlazerCheer. Her (Ballerina) Sh#!head."


:eek: :eek: :eek:

When my goddaughter Alison was about 3, we adults would watch tv without worrying about her being in the room. She would sit and play with her toys and not pay much attention to what was on the tube. We were watching some movie on cable that had rather "colorful" language. Suddenly, Ali looked up and turned to us and said "You're not supposed to say SHIT." We were more careful about what we watched from then on.

Bless her heart - she graduates from UT in Aug. Boy, does that make me feel old....

When my daughters are doing something, I usually try to give them a time frame to wrap things up. An example...my youngest is in the bathtub playing and I'll say five more minutes....then I'll say two more minutes...okay, it's time to get out.
The other morning I was waking my baby (3 yoa) up, and she actually put her head up, stuck her hand out holding up two fingers and said, "Just two more minutes mommy...two more minutes" as she passed out again! Talk about hitting the snooze button early! I'm in for it when she gets to be a teenager!

If anything stops you in your tracks when yoru child is giving you grief all day long about going to chuck e cheese and you said no for the 50 billioneth time and fus and kick and scream he comes to you later on and says "momma i am sorry you make my heart proud to be my momma" i dont know what else will melt you.

I expect a lot of fussing at this age but i see a lot of cuteness in him as well. there has been a few times when he stops me in my tracks and says the sweetest things to me it makes motherhood all that much more :D
